Marc Richards

Marc started his career at Blackburn Rovers making his debut in a Worthington Cup tie against West Ham United in October 2000. He had loan spells with Crewe Alexandra , Oldham Athletic , Halifax Town and Swansea City before signing on a free transfer to Northampton Town in 2003. In 2005 he had a loan spell with Rochdale before signing for Barnsley in 2005. He has recently been described as "a young Neil Shipperley" by former Barnsley manager Andy Ritchie, as a reason for not re-signing Shipperley from Sheffield United. He was released by Barnsley in May 2007, subsequently joining Port Vale on a two year deal. He has been capped at England Under-18 and under-20 level.


Paul Edwards

Paul Edwards started out his career at Bury, then moving on to W.B.A. before moving to Swindon, where he made eleven starts before signing for Wrexham. He played there for two years making 76 apps before moving on to Blackpool. After a stop start season with the seasiders he moved on to Oldham, from where he signed for the Vale. The pacy left winger should fill the space left by Jeff Smith.

Justin Miller

Miller was signed with Shane Tudor from Leyton Orient's promotion winning team. He has spent all his career at the O's making 167 apps for the Londoners and scoring 6 goals. He is a right back but can slot in anywhere along the back line.


Craig Rocastle


Craig Rocastle is cousin of the late England and Arsenal midfielder David Rocastle.Rocastle has extensive experience in the Chelsea reserve side and has appeared once on the bench for the first team. He was also a member of the QPR squad that was sent into administration a few years ago. It was there Rocastle first dropped out of the professional game joining up with Gravesend and Northfleet. Rocastle signed with Chelsea in 2003, but never made the first team. He looked to gain first team experience and had several loan spells over the next couple of years at Lincoln City, Barnsley and most notably Hibernian. He joined Sheffield Wednesday at the beginning of 2005 from Chelsea. He signed a two-and-a-half year deal at Wednesday, but after around a year at the club he fell out of favour and was advised to find a new club by manager Paul Sturrock. Rocastle spent the end of the 2005-06 season on loan at Yeovil. On 30th June 2006 Rocastle's contract at Wednesday was terminated by mutual consent. A few days later Craig signed for Oldham Athletic for free. Rocastle has also represented Grenada on the international scene.
